Why the Welsh went to Patagonia and what they did there

Speaker: Richard Wynn-Jones

Date: 4 July 2026

The Welsh migration to Patagonia in southern Argentina is a unique and fascinating episode in the history of diaspora communities. The migration began in the mid-19th century and over time, the Welsh settlers created a distinctive community, integrating into the remote region while maintaining many elements of their heritage, which survive to this day.
